Why not remove the printing machine, and 'feed' the programme direct to an online platform?

There are costs to print a programme, both financial and environmental, which can be removed whilst still giving the spectator a viable product - just in digital form.
This also has the advantage of being able to incorporate changes after the programme is released - updates can be pushed to the platform.

One such example - https://barc.blob.core.windows.net/croft/btcc-clhv4.pdf
